As of 2013 the Yangshao and Hongshan cultures provide the earliest known evidence for the use of Feng, Shui. Until the invention of the magnetic compass Feng Shui, apparently relied on astronomy to find correlations between humans. And the universe. [] In BC 4000, 5The doors of Banpo dwellings aligned with the asterism Yingshi just after the winter solstice - this sited the homes for. Solar gain. [] During 6 the, Zhou era Yingshi was known as Ding and used to indicate the appropriate time to build a capital. City according to, the Shijing. The late Yangshao site at Dadiwan (C. 3500-3000 BC) includes a palace-like building (F901). At the center.The building faces south and borders a large plaza. It stands on a North - south axis with another building that apparently. Housed communal activities. Regional communities may have used the complex. [7]
A grave at Puyang (around 4000 BC that.) Contains mosaics - actually a Chinese star map of the Dragon and Tiger asterisms and Beidou (the, Big DipperLadle or Bushel) - is oriented along a North - south axis. [] The 8 presence of both round and square shapes in the Puyang. Tomb at Hongshan, ceremonial centers and at the late Longshan settlement at Lutaigang, [] suggests 9 that Gaitian cosmography. (heaven-round earth-square), existed in Chinese society long before it appeared in the Zhou Bi Suan Jing. [10]
.Cosmography that bears a striking resemblance to modern Feng Shui devices and formulas appears on a piece of jade unearthed. At Hanshan and dated around 3000 BC. Archaeologist Li Xueqin links the design to the Liuren astrolabe Zhinan Zhen and,,, Luopan. [11]
Beginning with palatial structures at Erlitou, [] all 12 capital cities of China followed rules of Feng Shui. For their design and layout.During the, Zhou era the Kaogong Ji (simplified Chinese: 考 工 记; traditional Chinese: 考 工 記; "Manual of Crafts codified these.") Rules. The carpenter 's manual Lu ban Jing (simplified Chinese: 鲁 班 经; traditional Chinese: 魯 班 經; "Lu ban' s manuscript codified.") Rules for builders.

[] Some 14 current techniques can be traced to, Neolithic China[] while 15 others were added later (most notably the Han, Tang Dynasty the, Song and the, the Ming). [16]
The astronomical. History of Feng Shui is evident in the development of instruments and techniques. According to the Zhouli the original,, Feng Shui instrument may have been a gnomon. Chinese used circumpolar stars to determine the North - south axis of settlements.This technique explains why Shang palaces at Xiaotun lie 10 ° east of due north. In some cases as Paul, Wheatley, 17 observed []. They bisected the angle between the directions of the rising and setting sun to find north. This technique provided the. More precise alignments of the Shang walls at Yanshi and Zhengzhou.Rituals for using a Feng Shui instrument required a diviner to examine current sky phenomena to set the device and adjust. Their position in relation to the device. [18]
The oldest examples of instruments used for Feng Shui are, Liuren astrolabes. Also known as Shi. These consist of a lacquered two-sided board, with astronomical sightlines.The earliest examples of Liuren astrolabes have been unearthed from tombs that date between 278 BC and 209 BC. Along with. Divination for Da Liu Ren [] the 19 boards were commonly used to chart the motion of Taiyi through the nine palaces. [], 20 The Markings on a Liuren / Shi and the first magnetic compasses are virtually identical. [21]
.The magnetic compass was invented for Feng Shui [] and 22 has been in use since its invention. Traditional Feng Shui instrumentation. Consists of the Luopan or the earlier south-pointing spoon (passers 南 針 Zhinan Zhen) - though a conventional compass could suffice. If one understood the differences.
